    GlossaryHedgehog Proteins

    regulate tissue growth and development through signaling pathways

    Hedgehog Proteins (Hh Proteins) are a group of signaling molecules that play a crucial role in regulating the growth and development of various tissues and organs in the body. They are essential for processes such as cell differentiation, tissue patterning, and the maintenance of stem cells. In the context of hair biology, Hedgehog signaling is important for hair follicle development and cycling, and disruptions in this pathway can contribute to conditions like alopecia.
